Step 2: That doesn't happen, will never happen, and we totally wouldn't stand for it.
Step 3: It happens, it's a good thing, it's always happened, we need to make sure it keeps happening, it's a human right. It's a hate crime if you try to say it's a bad thing.
It's a lefty classic. My favorite part is how they completely ignore any past complaints, or how those were actually correct. We're seeing the exact same thing with Covid/vaccine/lockdown arguments. "Conspiracy theorists" and "bigots" can be correct about everything, but because they aren't Experts™ (even the ones that are...especially the ones that are), it's swept under the rug. We've already seen articles where they blame antivaxxers for not warning people...hahaha.
There's a step 4 that comes into play when the terrible consequences that were obvious from the start to anyone who spent three seconds thinking about the matter become impossible to ignore anymore: "It's happening and it's all the Right's fault"

There has to be a term for this because I’ve seen it so many times in the last few years
